Cousin Time!

Last weekend my sister, Angie, and my nephew, Kyle, came to Missouri to visit the Allee clan. We had a blast playing and visiting. When they got into town Friday night, the boys played all over the house, while Angie, Terri, and I drank a bottle of wine and played Yahtzee...one of our favorite past times I might add here ;) On Saturday we had a fun filled day. The boys were just begging to go to ChuckECheese for lunch...I am pretty sure it WASN'T the lunch part they were after. Anywho, we loaded up Braden and Kyle and drove to ChuckECheese, after all...their wish is our command, right - or something like that - ha! We ordered our pizza, got both of the boys to eat a single slice before they took off with the bucket of tokens in hand. The played for a couple of hours and just had a blast, sometimes together and sometimes we would find them on complete opposite sides of the game room. Angie and I enjoyed each other's company as well as watching the boys play and interact, it is so awesome to see them together since they haven't seen each other for two years. I was able to snap a couple pictures of them playing away at the arcade at ChuckECheese.

Look at those smiles, I love putting them there on their faces!!!!

Fun times!

Braden and Kyle are less than a day apart in age...you would never know that by the difference in their sizes - ha!

Next we were off to the Halloween store. The boys were going to go together to pick out their costumes for this year. Braden kept telling me he wanted to be something scary this year for Halloween, but he couldn't decide what it was exactly he wanted to be, he said he needed to scope out the store to figure it out. We didn't end up with anything scary...cool won over scary in his book...but we sure had fun with all the hats and sunglasses while looking for a costume! This is my all time favorite picture of Braden so far too date I think...he thinks he is so cool and suave, such a lady-killer -hehehehehe! They both loved the hats, and were right at home posing for their pics...it was like a fashion show! He was willing to put on whatever I handed him - too funny!

Now he picked out all of his sunglasses he tried on, these were his favorite ones! Another pair of MUST try on sunglasses - too cute! Fun with all the creatures in the store, these two kiddos have such great imaginations! Nothing scary about this costume, but it was super SWEET according to Braden :)

Kyle loved his costume, and Braden loved his! Kyle is going to be a tooth fairy and Braden is going to be a black ninja - we had a blast with them in this store while trying to find the perfect costume for the two of them!
